MP Faris Maumoon, son of former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, has been barred from travelling overseas by a court order.
Faris was stopped at the Velana International Airport’s immigration checkpoint Sunday morning after he checked in to fly to Bangalore, India to visit a sick relative.
An immigration official informed him of a travel ban imposed by the criminal court and confiscated his passport, the lawmaker said in a press statement.
Faris said he was previously told by the criminal court of a travel ban from March 29 to April 28 after he was interrogated by the police several times during March.
